Gravity, t3h movie! Imax 3d.

[Lissa]

Sort of a necro since this has been out for a while. Saw it today, it's a good movie, but my background in nuclear engineering caused me to find a number of things with the physics that broke levels of realism (for someone not heavily vested in physics it probably wouldn't be an issue). I'm not going to go into everything (as number of things have been broached already), but the one that kind of stuck out at me was the tears and blood floating away from Dr. Stone. The problem is, in space, liquids will stick to surfaces due to surface tension, so the tears and water wouldn't just float away (the tear did lead to a neat little effect, but that's all really). The other being the self correcting Chinese Soyuz (even we don't have capsules that will self correct that well from a tumbling scenario), Dr. Stone should have died from burn up on re-entry due to the tumbling (the heat shield is only on one side so the rest of the vehicle would have been destroyed due to the high temperatures from atmospheric friction on re-entry with it tumbling like it was).
